The Midland GXT750VP3 Outfitter Series 22-Channel 26-Mile GMRS 2-Way Radio Pair Pack with Rechargeable Batteries and Charger (Mossy Oak) represents the state-of-the-art in high-tech engineering, for a compact package that is big in performance. Skillfully constructed with the finest components, the Midland GXT750 is built with all solid-state circuitry mounted on a rugged, printed circuit board to provide you with reliable and trouble-free performance for years to come.
The Midland GXT750 radio provides you with 22 GMRS/FRS (General Mobile Radio Service/Family Radio Service) UHF channels, and up to a 26-mile range in open territory. In addition to the 22 possible channels, the GXT750 comes with 121 privacy codes to lessen interference or eaves-dropping, as well as all 10 NOAA weather channels and a NOAA weather alert function. These powerful radios have an easy-to-read backlit LCD display that shows status information at a glance even in difficult lighting, and a large easy-to-use keypad on the front for one-touch access to important features.

The GXT750 radio is full of features such as an outgoing call alert to notify your intended receiver of incoming traffic, and five incoming call alerts to identify various senders. User's can even select one of five different animal sounds for incoming call alerts, including duck, goose, turkey, owl, or elk calls. This radio also features a channel scan for locating active channels, an auto squelch for filtering out weak signals, and a vibrating alert for use in both quiet and noisy environments. This unit provides High, Medium and Low power settings so you can choose to maximize transmission distance or save power, and a VOX function with selectable levels for voice-activated, hands-free transmissions. The GXT750 also includes keystroke tones, a roger beep that confirms transmission conclusion, and a silent operation for quieting beeps, tones and alerts when you can't afford to make extra noise.

Midland's GXT750 radio is constructed to be water resistant, so it can be used in most any environment, and has a keypad lock to avoid accidentally changing the radio settings. This radio runs on a Midland 4.8-volt rechargeable NiMH battery pack that can be recharged while in the radio, or can be powered by four AAA batteries during extended trips. This unit also includes a battery life extender function, as well as a low-battery indicator so you never get caught offguard without power. The GXT750 comes with a speaker/microphone/headset/charging jack so you can use it with an external speaker or microphone, or a pair of headphones, and recharge your battery pack when not in use. The Midland GXT750VP3 pack comes with two radios, each with a belt clip for convenient carrying or hands-free use, as well as two rechargeable NiMH battery packs, an AC wall adapter, and a dual radio desktop charger. These radios come with mossy-oak, break-up camouflage face plates, and are backed by a manufacturer's three-year warranty.

Midland did a nice job with these 2-Way Radios. I use them at amusement parks and offroad. Really like the weather band integration. They have decent range for the antenna size, but nowhere near 26 miles (not sure how they come up with that except complete line of sight maybe). But the option to go high or low power means I can concerve battery if I'm close and boost it if I have to broadcast out far. Roger beep is nice to have so you know the tranmission is over when the signal is faint. Sometimes that all you can hear is the roger beep. Battery life is exceptional with the included NiMH packs and the fact that I can swap it over to AA Alkaline is great. Overall, a great radio for the price.

Pros:

Good voice clarity

Cons:

Range under normal conditions is LESS than one mile

I find it dishonest to claim 26 mile range. If you're lucky, one mile is a stretch. I did try "under ideal conditions" from boat to boat on water and the range is only a few miles.
